Powerful Question #9

September 4, 2013

Carolyn Jessop said that “at some point nearly everyone, no matter what [their] situation, has to face change that is terrifying and overwhelming.” That means no one is immune to change or that it isn’t sometimes frightening.

What’s the scariest change you’ve ever faced? How did you respond to it?

Obviously there are a lot any of us could choose from. I remember making my first cross country move from Kansas City to Virginia Beach. That was scary because I didn’t really know anyone there and knew it would only be temporary. That set in motion a string of similar moves over several years for work. Having to navigate all that uncertainty really broadened my perspective and helped me clarify what I want in life – and grow in independence.
